The statement of net assets <br />includes all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as <br />net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in the City's net assets are an indicator of <br />whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively. To assess the overall <br />health of the City, additional nonfinancial factors need to be considered, such as changes in the <br />City's tax base and the condition of the City's infrastructure. <br />13 <br />Government -wide <br />Statements <br />Governmental Funds <br />Proprietary Funds <br />Scope <br />Entire City government <br />The activities of the <br />City that are not <br />proprietary, such as <br />police, public works, <br />and parks and <br />recreation <br />Activities the City <br />operates similar to <br />private businesses: <br />The utilities and the <br />golf course <br />Required financial <br />statements <br />• Statement of net <br />assets <br />• Statement of <br />activities <br />• Balance sheet <br />• Statement of <br />revenues, <br />expenditures, and <br />changes in fund <br />balances <br />• Statement of net <br />assets <br />• Statement of <br />revenues, expenses, <br />and changes in net <br />assets <br />• Statement of cash <br />flows <br />Accounting basis <br />and measurement <br />focus <br />Accrual accounting <br />and economic <br />resources focus <br />Modified accrual <br />accounting and current <br />financial resources <br />focus <br />Accrual accounting <br />and economic <br />resources focus <br />Type of asset /liability <br />information <br />All assets and <br />liabilities, both <br />financial and capital, <br />and short -term and <br />long -term <br />Only assets expected <br />to be used up and <br />liabilities that come <br />due during the year or <br />soon thereafter; no <br />capital assets included <br />All assets and <br />liabilities, both <br />financial and capital, <br />and short -term and <br />long -term <br />Type of <br />inflow /outflow <br />information <br />All revenues and <br />expenses during year, <br />regardless of when <br />cash is received or <br />paid <br />Revenues for which <br />cash is received <br />during or soon after <br />the end of the year; <br />expenditures when <br />goods or services <br />have been received <br />and payment is due <br />during the year or <br />soon thereafter <br />All revenues and <br />expenses during year, <br />regardless of when <br />cash is received or <br />paid <br />Government -wide Statements <br />The government -wide statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting <br />methods similar to those used by private- sector companies.
